He was not in the same headspace as Vera.
That was why Yan Nuo rejected Vera.
"Good night, Vera," he said, and went upstairs.
Vera stood rooted to the ground, her hands twisted until they were numb. Her beautiful face lost almost all its color.
The next morning, Ji Yinbing dressed up and went to the training ground. After putting on the weights, she ran ten kilometers with the other mercenaries. When she returned to the training ground in the backyard, Ji Yinbing walked for a few minutes before squatting down and unbuckling the weights.
She wiped the sweat off her face and looked up to see Yan Nuo walking towards her.
The man was wearing a pure black training uniform and combat boots. He held a gun in his hand.
This was the first time they officially met since he returned.
Ji Yinbing sized up Yan Nuo, who was also looking at her.
Yan Nuo could not hide his surprise.
